"CN" Converged Newtonian light time
correction. In solving the light time
equation, the "CN" correction iterates
until the solution converges (three
iterations on all supported platforms).

The "CN" correction typically does not
substantially improve accuracy because
the errors made by ignoring
relativistic effects may be larger than
the improvement afforded by obtaining
convergence of the light time solution.
The "CN" correction computation also
requires a significantly greater number
of CPU cycles than does the
one-iteration light time correction.
That explanation doesn't offer proof. In fact, it gives an excuse for an inaccurate outcome. I'm waiting to see conclusive proof that due to light time correction, and nothing else, we are able to make accurate computations.

No LadyShea, you are repeating the same mantra since this thread started. If my eyes can see an object by means of light, then that means there is no gap between locations, therefore it doesn't violate the laws of physics. That's in your imagination. That's because you're thinking in terms of light having to travel to us. You have yet to understand how the eyes work which is why you can't even begin to contemplate how real time vision is even possible.

The Hubble photos are authentic. That we can see supernovas and detect the photons from the supernova at the same time, contrary to Lessans prediction, is authentic. The Fizeau experiment is authentic. That NASA uses a speed of light correction in all of its projects and programs, and that those projects are successful in reaching their target, is authentic.

Here is an animation of the Fizeau experiment The measurement of the speed of light conducted by Fizeau

You are a liar, or you are hopelessly stupid, or you are adhering to your faith beyond all rationality, or you are crazy.

Some light hits an object, and not all of it is absorbed. What happens to the non-absorbed light? Do you think it is sensible and sane to suggest that it doesn't travel away and that it doesn't stay there at rest?

What would you think about the mental health of a person who made such silly claims and had their silliness explained to them such that they agreed and changed their position, only to a few weeks later return to stating the exact same silly claims? Should people be concerned about such a person?
It seems silly to you because you don't even understand what I'm saying. I never said light stays at rest. You're just as lost as everyone else.
Then what happens to the non-absorbed light? Why is it not silly to say that it neither stays there at rest nor travels away? What else can it possibly do?
How many times do I have to say that light travels, but non-absorbed light (the light that provides the mirror image) does not get (N) reflected which would indicate that it travels in that pattern forever. You will not understand why this is so if you don't see this from the efferent standpoint. That's why you're getting confused.
Of course it travels. The problem was your above quoted claim that it doesn't. It doesn't matter how many times you say it travels if you keep forgetting and claiming otherwise.
You are completely failing to understand why non-absorbed light (the pattern that strikes our retina to reveal the object) does not exist beyond the inverse square law since it joins with the other colors in the visible spectrum.

Did I say "detect light"? No I did not. In the example above you see a reflection of the light bulb in the mirror.

We could break it down even simpler. Let's say you are looking at a light bulb in a mirror.

How can this be tested when the mirror, the light bulb, and the observer are so close to each other. It presents the same problem as the example of seeing the spot on the moon.
He asked you which ones of those elements can be seen in real time. This is not the real test yet, in the diagram there is no rotating wheel, and the latest question concerns only a light bulb and a mirror. What can be seen in real time, the light bulb, its reflection, or nothing?

In the Fizeau experiment, there is a point in time when no light can be seen. This happens at a particular speed of the wheel and shouldn't be possible if we saw in real time. Do you want me to go into more detail? Just kidding, of course you don't.

This experiment was done to determine the speed of light. He makes no mention of seeing the light bulb.

But you're concluding the very thing that we're setting out to prove. You can't assume that what you will see is the light bulb. There's a difference between light that is emitted and the object (the Sun) which contains other gases and gives it its shape. If I was looking up toward the Sun, I would see light (especially if there was a glare). If something blocked the Sun, it would suddenly be dark. This doesn't prove that we see in delayed time.

I already answered this. It is impossible to prove anything from this example where the object (the light bulb) is present. Even though the light is being (P) reflected off of the mirror, the light bulb is still there. The theory is that the object doesn't have to be present once it reflects the light that contains the pattern in it. I have yet to ever see any pattern of light strike my eyes that reveals an object when the object is nowhere to be found.
